Work is continuing on the Hope Valley Railway Upgrade.

Disabled parking and an alternative drop off point will be in place temporarily at Ladies Spring Grove. Local businesses, Hair Union, Rajdhani restaurant and the Summerhouse restaurant will remain open and accessible throughout.

When travelling to the station, passengers are encouraged to walk, cycle or car share where possible. All 97, 98 and 217 buses along Abbeydale Road South stop outside the station.

Graeme Whitehead, Network Rail senior sponsor, said: "Progress continues on the Hope Valley Railway Upgrade, as we improve the historic line between Manchester and Sheffield.

"We understand the disruption that these essential upgrades create in the community in the short term and we thank local residents and passengers for their continued patience and understanding while we undertake this work."

Once complete, the £145 million Hope Valley railway upgrade programme will remove several bottlenecks along the Hope Valley line to enable more reliable passenger journeys between Manchester and Sheffield.
